I have no rear seat, but I dont think the police are bright enough to know that it had one to begin with, mostly because there is so much junk in the back that you cant see the carpet

Back Seat?
Don't fit in the 2dr cause the Calmini RollCage
Don't work in the 4dr cause it takes up storage space.
The only reason I can see for getting a ticket for no back seat is someone is riding back there with out one.
true?

I wopuld have to agree, people pull them out all the time for more room...now if someone is back there without a seatbelt...

Thats just ridiculous to pull you over for no back seat.   What time was it at, though?   If it was late, cops look for any possible reason to pull some people over.   I was pulled over for this little green light I had on the back, not gonna disagree it was illegal, but I had it for like 2 years and never got pulled over.   Then I got pulled over at 1 AM, the cop sniffed inside, then mentioned the light.   Cops do drunk driver checks alllllllll the time in Wisconsin.

Last night around here it was realyl bad....


I with a buddy in a 300zx twin turbo...we saw one cop at least 3 times trolling for trouble in my area

Isn't that what the cops are paid to do?  If the cops are "trolling for trouble" then those who don't cause trouble can go about their lives without problems from those who cause trouble.  Maybe it all depends on your idea of "trolling for trouble".  To me that means looking for those who bring trouble to others.

I'm actually not sure if you can adjust the gear lash in the steering box.  I never looked.  But I imagine there is,  probably much like a chevy to take up the free play in the steering.

left work the other night and I was on the bike......full dirt bike w/head and tail/brake light only, full knobby's and knuckle bashers....I saw these light in my mirror and thought get the f off my ass.....then the cherry's lit up now this is 2 in the morning. so I pull off the road and stop the engine loud exhaust( super trapp and all discs in but has street packing ) and he walks over asks for id and registration....asks how you doing....I say tired from driving all day he says oh yeah driving what ......I say TTC bus driver...he asks for my work id I give too him he say oh you have a good night then thank you !!!!!

I did ask why he pulled me over tho....he replies....." most people drive striaght down the road so we thought you were drunk but you obviously are not ....

I really have to stop playing slolam on the bike.

 But, it is always so tempting.

My dad used to be a cop - he said they rutinely looked for reasons to pull people over that drove "beaters". Said that they got a LOT of drunk drivers that way. Cops aren't supposed to "profile", but they do - they always will. Their job is to look for people breaking the law... so they get good at noticing things that are consistent with people who break the law...


~J~

They have a tendency around here to harrass certain people more than others,

and not always for a justifed reason....I have offten been told by friends and such in the force that offten times they have to make some revenue because of pressure from above.

I have no problem for them pulling me over for a just reason, we pay alot of taxes for that, and I support that 100%.

I also support the notion of stoping or eliminating troubles others can cause to me, but again for reasonable cause.

But again when they offten find a reason just to snoop...

(and they are acually told to find a reason at times, especially at night, again from a friends in the force)

My one buddy has been stopped quite a few times in this area for various reasons...
some were justified...others they were just looking to see if anything else was going on..

My family works for the force so I honestly haven't had much trouble, when Ive been stopped I was in the wrong for the most part...

 but  my buddy just seems to be a magnet for these kinds of things...which sucks...I guess alot of it has to do with the car you drive.

If it looks torn up, modified, or sporty they look at you more offten...

which is obvious as these things will catch your eye more offten than not.

Just wanted to clarify my above statment, I was terribly ambigious
